I couldn't resist this goofy keyboard, although its heft and quality suggest an industrial use, it has annoying quirks such as the escape key being in a weird place and the space bar being small so I hit the Alt keys instead. But man the keys are good! It's an ione (iONE?) Scorpius 35, for 4.95$.

Next I scored a UHD of A Bug's Life for 5$ at the Salvation Army, not the usual spot for 4K stuff.

Then a Breville Inissia Nespresso machine. Took a gamble in store since there's no water there to test. The machine had all its accessories, didn't stink, was clean, and powered up nicely. I started the pump and the heater warmed up so I gambled 23.85$.

It does make a shot but there's a leak somewhere inside. Maybe time to crack it open on the weekend.

I do like the build quality and the key action, but I can't figure out the changes to a standard layout, like, why?

Like you said, almost certainly a case that it's been used for specific machines, like CNC or factory stuff. I've seen them before, weird custom layouts like that.
